Extend the quality of your life with rhodiola
01/23/2019 // Mary Miller // Views

Chronic stress can take its toll on our overall health and well-being. Adaptogens are natural substances that can increase your body's resistance to stress. Rhodiola is a potent adaptogenic herb that can reduce the negative effects of stress on your body and help improve your overall quality of life.

Also known as "arctic root" or "golden root," rhodiola has a long history of being used by Scandinavian countries to treat a number of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, fatigue, and depression. It is called the golden root for a reason, as its roots contain over 140 active ingredients. Rosavin and salidroside are two of the most potent among these active ingredients. These active ingredients possess healing properties that can provide a wide range of health benefits. Rhodiola extract can be taken in the form of capsules, tablets, dietary supplements, and herbal teas. Here are a few of the health benefits you can reap by regularly taking rhodiola herbal extract:

Rhodiola can help your body cope with the negative effects of stress

Due to its adaptogenic properties, rhodiola can help your body respond effectively to stress and minimize its negative impact on your body. Adaptogenic herbs can increase your body's resistance to both physical and mental stress. In one study, 101 participants with stress relating to work and life issues were administered 400 milligrams (mg) of rhodiola extract per day for four weeks. After only three days, the participants already exhibited significant improvements in stress symptoms, such as fatigue and anxiety. Furthermore, rhodiola extract can help regulate your mood-related neurotransmitters to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Rhodiola can help fight off the effects of aging

Rhodiola can protect your cells from the effects of oxidative stress and premature aging due to its active ingredient, salidroside. It can keep your skin looking youthful by preserving skin cells and aiding in the production of healthier skin.

Rhodiola can help you avoid chronic fatigue

When you suffer from any combination of stress, anxiety, and inadequate, you may experience chronic fatigue. This can cause feelings of physical and mental exhaustion, which is linked to a buildup of lactic acid and carbon dioxide in the body. This buildup can reduce the uptake of oxygen in your body. Rhodiola extract can counter the negative effects of this buildup to ward off chronic fatigue. According to several studies, rhodiola extract can alleviate chronic fatigue and improve endurance.

Rhodiola can help maintain a healthy immune system

As our bodies age, our immune systems tend to weaken over time, leaving your body vulnerable to disease and infection. This process of natural decline is called immune senescence. Rhodiola can slow down immune senescence by supporting your immune functions. Fatigue can also bring down your immune system. If you take rhodiola extract on a regular basis, a compromised immune system due to fatigue will be one less thing you'll have to worry about.

Rhodiola can help calm down your nervous system

When you experience chronic stress, your endocrine system produces a hormone called cortisol. Rhodiola can lower your body's levels of cortisol to put your nervous system at ease. It can also aid in regulating your entire endocrine system.

Rhodiola can improve exercise performance

Physical activity tends to cause some amount of stress in your body. Adaptogens help your body resist stress. It would only make sense that adaptogenic herbs, such as rhodiola can boost your endurance during exercise. Studies have shown that rhodiola can decrease perceived exertion. This means that people who took rhodiola felt that their bodies did not have to work as hard when doing the same tasks as they did without rhodiola.
